Decor Thoughts - French State of Mind

What is a French state of mind?  I imagine lazy days, lots of cheese, great wine, and of course great company.
Some of my greatest memories last year were of the small house I shared with 3 other classmates in the countryside.  We had a small courtyard and a ridiculously large, floral, and totally awesome couch as well as a piano in the living room.  Our house grilled when we can but as I've mentioned before baguettes and cheese were definitely a mainstay.
Our cleaning lady also told us Johnny Depp lived nearby.  CRAZINESS right?  I regret not doing a little more stalking when I had the chance.

Here it is (I told you it was very floral right, our land lady decorated and the couch is half the room!)

Anyway, I saw a few things that bring that French state of mind anywhere!

First this classic candelabra to be used for either long summer nights or those cozy winter ones.

From Jayson Home and not bad at $125

Can you imagine putting your rings and knick knacks in these french love letter boxes?  Sigh just adorable.

Only $25 also from Jayson Home

How about putting your feet up on this silk loveliness after a long day?  Le sigh.

From Paris Hotel Boutique $1450 which is actually pretty good for an antique piece.

Something about these bowls are so adorable.   Maybe because they remind me a little of madeline cookies?

From Amazon at $17

If these things are a little out of reach, at least you can make your own French inspired stationary via the Style Guide.

What puts you in a French state of mind?
